Ji Qingping gave all his monthly salary to Li Xiumei. Li Xiumei didn't need the money she earned from work, so it wouldn't be a big deal for her to keep it for herself.
Unfortunately, she would give every penny she earned to Li Xiumei to please her.
But it didn't win any compliments from Li Xiumei, nor did it earn her a single good look.
In that case, I won’t serve this kind of mother-in-law anymore!
"Okay," Shen Li said with a smile, "Your makeup is all smudged now. I'll take you to my house to wash your face, change your makeup, and dress up. After all, not many people have seen your ferocious appearance just now. You have to surprise them when you go back later, right?"
Lin Xuanxuan knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival was a collective activity and she had to participate. If she didn't go back, the matter would not end well.
"Thank you, Lili." Xuanxuan bit her lip and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"What's there to thank for? We are friends." Shen Li chuckled, took Lin Xuanxuan's hand, and went back home.
friend……
This is the first friend I made since coming to the island.
Lin Xuanxuan held Shen Li's hand tightly.
Shen Li took Lin Xuanxuan home. "Here is clean water and face wash stuff. After you wash, wipe your face and apply these skin care products."
"Yeah." Lin Xuanxuan raised her eyes and looked at the sink in the bathroom.
There are a wide variety of skin care products on it, all of which I have never seen before.
They must be very expensive.
Lin Xuanxuan was reluctant to use it any longer, so she began to wash her face slowly and carefully.
Shen Li didn't stand by and watch her wash her face. She went to the kitchen.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although there are some moon cakes in the army, they are very hard. Most of them are filled with five nuts and have a simple taste. The hard moon cakes are used to crack walnuts.
Shen Li still likes to make some snow skin mooncakes.
To keep things simple, she bought the snow skin powder directly from the Space Mall, which saved her the time of making the snow skin powder.
Time is running out now, so this method is simpler, faster and more efficient.
She poured the snow skin powder into a basin, put the pot on the fire, poured in two large and small boxes of milk, heated them over the fire, and waited for the milk to steam. She poured the hot milk into the snow skin powder and stirred evenly. She put on gloves and kneaded it with her hands into a soft, white dough.
Sprinkle some glutinous rice flour on a cutting board and place the large dough on the cutting board.
Shen Li wore gloves and kneaded the dough, pulled it, and tugged it until the surface was smooth. Finally, she rolled it into a long, smooth, white strip.
Shen Li took a kitchen knife and cut the long strip into small pieces, small dough pieces. Then she held the rolling pin in her right hand and pinched a corner of the small dough piece with her left hand. With the coordination of both hands, the small dough piece quickly spun rapidly under the rolling pin and turned into a thin small pancake.
At this time, Lin Xuanxuan had finished washing and applied a little Shen Li's skin care products, revealing a clean face.
"Xuanxuan, do you want to make mooncakes with me?" Shen Li asked with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Xuanxuan washed her hands and walked over here quickly.
"Let me roll the noodles." Lin Xuanxuan watched Shen Li rolling the noodles. It was the same method she used to make dumplings during Chinese New Year. This was very easy for her.
She walked over to Shen Li and took the rolling pin.
"Lili, will it be too late if we make mooncakes now?" Lin Xuanxuan moved very quickly. In just a few seconds, she rolled the dough into a thin and round shape, which was perfect.
"It's still in time." Shen Li said with a smile, "As for my mooncakes, I just need to wrap the fillings and they'll be done."
"So fast?" Lin Xuanxuan was shocked.
"Well, because the flour itself is cooked, this mooncake is called snow skin mooncake, which is different from other ones." As she spoke, Shen Li took out a small stainless steel bowl from the refrigerator, which was wrapped in a layer of plastic wrap.
This is the stuffing that I prepared long ago, but I was too busy with the cultural performance to make it.
If it weren’t for the rehearsal before the cultural performance, this snow skin mooncake would have been made long ago.
Shen Li placed the small bowl on the kitchen counter and removed the plastic wrap.
"It smells so good! What kind of filling is this?" Lin Xuanxuan asked curiously while rolling out the dough.
"This is durian filling." Shen Li said with a smile.
“Durian can be used to make mooncakes?” Lin Xuanxuan was even more surprised.
She had only heard of mooncakes with five-nut fillings and red bean paste fillings, but this was the first time she had heard of mooncakes with snow-skin durian filling?
“Of course.” Shen Li picked up a piece of dough rolled by Lin Xuanxuan, scooped out a piece of durian filling with a spoon, put it into the snow skin, then kneaded a small round dough, and rolled it in the white glutinous rice flour.
She took out the embossing machine she had prepared earlier, put the small round dough into the embossing machine, sprinkled some glutinous rice flour on it, and just like that, a square snow skin mooncake was ready.
Lin Xuanxuan leaned over to take a look. The surface of the mooncake was somewhat transparent white, with some beautiful patterns printed on it.
"This is so beautiful!" It was the first time she had seen mooncakes like this and she was very surprised.
"Try it and see if it's delicious." Shen Li put the snow skin durian mooncake to her lips.
Lin Xuanxuan tried to open her mouth and take a bite. It was soft and sticky. Unexpectedly, the filling inside seemed to be about to flow out!
Worried that the filling would flow out and fall onto the ground, Lin Xuanxuan had to open her mouth a little wider and eat a big piece.
It feels soft and sticky when you put it in. The filling has a strong durian flavor and a milk flavor. It doesn't taste too sweet at all. On the contrary, it tastes lightly sweet because the durian has been frozen in the refrigerator. Therefore, it tastes cool when you eat it.
For Lin Xuanxuan, it was like eating the most delicious ice cream cake!
"Delicious!" Lin Xuanxuan's eyes sparkled.
"Can I eat the rest?" Lin Xuanxuan asked in a low voice, a little embarrassed.
"Of course." Shen Li smiled.
Just like that, Lin Xuanxuan completely ate the snowy mooncake.
It’s really delicious.
She had never tasted anything so delicious before.
"Xuanxuan, look, the dough you roll is better looking and more even than mine, and you roll it very quickly." Shen Li said with a smile, "You have many good qualities!"
Xuanxuan felt a little embarrassed when she was praised, and her little face turned red.
"Do you want to be welcomed by everyone tonight and make a lot of friends?" Shen Li smiled softly.
"I do." Lin Xuanxuan bit her lip and said softly.
She left the party just now in such a disgraceful way.
She wants to go back without being so embarrassing...
"Then just listen to me... later..." Shen Li said.
"But is this okay?" Xuanxuan was a little unsure.
"Why not? Just listen to me."
Xuanxuan had no choice but to nod.
Two hours later——
"That damn girl has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?" Li Xiumei saw that everyone around them was whispering and looking at them, and she was a little dissatisfied, "Qingping, go find her."
At this moment——
“Here I come!”
